Maccaroni Trattoria Italiana in the Melbourne CBD is serving rustic and authentic Italian food like its meant to be – flavoursome, simple and made with a healthy dose of Italian passion. The chefs behind this Manchester Lane restaurant are dedicated to following traditional recipes (just like Nonna used), using their knowledge from homeland Italy and adding just a touch of gourmet modernity. Freshly made pasta is undoubtedly the star of the show at Maccaroni Trattoria Italiana, ranging from gnocchi and tagliatelle to fettuccine and pappardelle. Yet the menu also offers rustic pizzas, traditional mains and homemade desserts that will satisfy any guest – especially when enjoyed alongside the Italian and Australian wines available. Better yet, the service and atmosphere of Maccaroni is both genuine and inviting. Located in the Melbourne CBD, this restaurant is understandably popular and making an advance booking is highly recommended.

    Pizza was hardly cooked and pasta was terrible. Wouldn’t cater to vegetarians either.

    My meal didn’t come out with my friends. After time I asked where my carbonara was. The waiter indicated a mistake was made but that they would bring it out pronto. I ordered carbonara, but he came back with calamari. As we were going to a show and were out of time I said I would just eat that. But it was terrible, it might as well have been just fried seasoning clumps because there was hardly any calamari in it. My friend’s Maccaroni came out crunchy and the meatballs were tasteless. Will definitely not be going back.

    Food was everything you would expect from a good italian restaurant and timing of courses excellent. Service was marvellous. Second time we have dined there after a show as they serve main menu from early afternoon.

    A simple lunch with delicious pasta. Good service and moderate noise level. Only issue is no split bills, whole bill is averaged. Otherwise very good

    This place is excellent but not on the weekend as they charge a 10% surcharge which is abit exssesive. It can be very very loud as well.

    We love this place. The staff are friendly, the location is perfect, smack in the centre of Melbourne and close to everything. It’s a cozy little restaurant tucked away from the hustle and bustle of pedestrian traffic. The food, magnificent! Every meal we’ve had here has been superb. Make sure you book ahead, it’s popular.
